"Cannibals All! or, Slaves Without Masters" presents a controversial and compelling argument about labor and social order in the antebellum United States. George Fitzhugh, a prominent social theorist, challenges conventional views on slavery, offering a provocative defense of the institution.

Exploring themes of abolitionism, political philosophy, and the plantation system, Fitzhugh's work critiques free market capitalism, arguing that enslaved people in the South were better cared for than wage laborers in the North. He posits that all societies, including those that claim to be free, exploit workers. His sharp social commentary made him a prominent figure in debates over slavery.

This edition makes Fitzhugh's influential, albeit deeply problematic, text accessible to those interested in the history of slavery and nineteenth-century social and political thought. A vital resource for understanding the complex intellectual landscape surrounding slavery in the United States.
